     A Brief Expose` of My Theatrical Belief…

        I have grown as an actor and performer in the school of the Eastern European Theatre. 
     Following the rules of Stanislavski,  M. Chekhov,  L. Strasberg,  as well as  those of my
     professor  K. Azarian,  I have learned that stage performance is not just acting, but a way
     of living.  It is dedication to “the people below” - the audience.  Performing, therefore, 
     has never been a job or profession to me.  Acting is a gift, a noble mission with which one 
     has been blessed and is obligated to spread throughout this world of ours.  As actors, we 
     are born with the destiny to Entertain the people.  We serve them giving them everything 
     they need, everything they ask for.  But the inside secret, the question the actor must ask 
     himself, is whether what the people ask for is really what they need?  This is what renders 
     the actor’s task a challenging responsibility.  Thus his moral values and human abilities, 
     his personal commitment and precious beliefs, and his selfless dedication to the people 
     will all guide him in selecting and presenting the right decision.  It is then that the actor 
     “signs” a contract in the pursuit of becoming that image which the people will believe in 
     and follow as their model for a way of living.  So it is the actor who can open the hidden 
     fields of our lives and make them visual. It is the actor who brings them into reality with 
     his “magic” skills so that the people may see, feel and realize who they are, how they are 
     living and how they might live better. Moreover, the actor truly teaches by presenting both
     sides - good and bad, right and wrong- still leaving the decision to the consciousness of 
     the audience. The actor must bring forth wisdom bearing the full picture of reality unto 
     our hearts, transforming our beliefs so that we may become fully human in finding 
     empathy for one another. 
           Such a task is never easy, yet anyone who wishes to become an actor must decide to do
     and be nothing less. He must be disciplined and prepared for the sleepless and relentless 
     work that will follow. He must be willing to sacrifice all. For there is no black and white; 
     there are all the colors of the universe melted and separated, brightened and flattened by 
     the power of the magic that the actor creates through his very own morals, fantasies, 
     beliefs and aptitudes. The actor must lay himself in the arms of Real Life and without 
     even hint of fear grab it, transform it and artistically create from it a piece of drama filled 
     with desire, passion and hope. Funny or tragic, sad or cheerful, energetic or melancholic, 
     the actor must accomplish his duty – to entertain and serve the people at any time and in 
    any circumstance. But most of all, the actor must find and give that which they really need 
    without taking from them. 

                          The actor is the Fool of all times… Oh, Eternal Fool, who can fool and be fooled! 
                  But the Fool Can what he Knows and Knows what we Can’t. So, we need him to Know 
                 how we Can, while he needs us to Show how he Can what we Don’t Know. And in this 
                closed circle it is the actor always taking the Blame… Oh, Eternal Fool! And we – the Credit...
